ssh: Could not resolve hostname bitbucket.org-{username}: nodename nor servname provided, or

Question

Hi, I have two accounts in bitbucket and I have to SSH keys setup.

Here is my config file

Host bitbucket.org-{user1}HostName bitbucket.orgUser gitIdentityFile ~/.ssh/nari_sshIdentitiesOnly yes
Host bitbucket.org-{user2}HostName bitbucket.orgUser gitIdentityFile ~/.ssh/delori_sshIdentitiesOnly yes
Host github.comHostName github.comUser gitIdentityFile ~/.ssh/nari_sshIdentitiesOnly yesAnd this is config in one of my repositories[user]name = {user1}email = {email}[core]repositoryformatversion = 0filemode = truebare = falselogallrefupdates = trueignorecase = trueprecomposeunicode = true[remote "origin"]url = git@bitbucket.org-{user1}:{company}/dpp-web.gitfetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*I keep hitting this error ssh: Could not resolve

hostname bitbucket.org-{user1}: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

This error appeared out of nowhere. The day before it worked fine.

I have correctly checked my public keys in both bitbucket accounts in personal settings and they match.

What could I be doing wrong here?

Hi,

Thank you for the info.

The permissions of the file look ok, I am not sure why the configuration is not being applied.

I would suggest trying the following as well for testing purposes:

1. Try pushing with the command

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -vvv -F ~/.ssh/config" git push

Apart from verbose output, this command specifies that the config file ~/.ssh/config should be used and the system-wide configuration file should be ignored.

Could you then post the output of the command here?

2. You can also try copy-pasting the bitbucket entries from ~/.ssh/config into /etc/ssh/ssh_config and see if that helps.

If you do so, please ensure that no identity file is configured for Host * in the /etc/ssh/ssh_config (if it is, you can temporarily comment it out).

Please feel free to let me know how it goes.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi @Irakli Ghachava,

Thank you for the info.

Based on the output, it looks like there is an attempt to read the file /Users/ika/.ssh/config, but there is no message for applying options from this file.

Instead, we see that options are being applied from the file /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

1. Does the configuration you posted in your first post belong to the file /Users/ika/.ssh/config or to the file /etc/ssh/ssh_config?

2. Are you logged in on this computer as the user ika?

3. What are the permissions of the directory /Users/ika/.ssh/ and the file /Users/ika/.ssh/config?

Kind regards,
Theodora
